			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I personally really enjoyed the story of Dido and to do that it seems like a dark presence to the film with a lot of emotion which could be done really well, the lore in the story is great. 

My second choice would be Cyclopeia reason for this is mainly for the fact the Cyclopes would be the same size as the minifig and I don't know if that would bother you, either way good luck on whatever you do I look forward to it, as I am a fan of Greek Mythology :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hmm.  I skimmed over what the links had to say about each one and each seems to be quite different in content.  
I really don't know, it was like I looked at one and was like "Oh, this one looks good!" but then each one looked good.  
I personally think [b]Dido[/b] would be particularly interesting to see in a brickfilm but I don't have any reasoning to back that up.  [b]Cyclopeia[/b] is probably my second choice.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I told my Classical Civilisations teacher a while back that I could make some learning resources for class. He uses lots of videos and when he heard about my brickfilming got a bit excited.

I'm finally getting around to it now, but I'm not sure which 'book' to do first (as the one I do first may be the only one I end up doing). The three that I've whittled it down to are:
[list=*]
[*][b]Cyclopeia:[/b] Odysseus and the cyclops Polyphemus. A bit graphic in places, though I'd tone the brickfilm down and add some humour, and obviously it's quite fantastical since it features a giant cyclops (and possibly the lotus-eaters too). It's certainly the most fun story on this list. [url]http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/odyssey/section5.rhtml[/url][/*]
[*][b]Dido:[/b] It's the tragic story of the fall of the queen of Carthage, from the [i]Aeneid[/i], and though it's quite dark in places it features some of the most beautiful passages of text I've ever read. It's also one of the main texts that we do. [url]http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/aeneid/section4.rhtml[/url][/*]
[*][b]Diomedes Triumphant:[/b] An example of blind Homeric 'heroism' that sees the Greek warrior Diomedes get too big-headed and fight three (and injure two) gods on the fields of Troy. It's pretty epic. [url]http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/iliad/section4.rhtml[/url][/*]
[/list]

I really want to do one of these. These are the ones that I picked out as the most interesting books that I actually have the ability to do. There are others that I would love to do, but I have limitations: I can't do Achilles VS Hector justice as a brickfilm, and Scylla and Charybdis is way beyond my VFX skills. I've also left out the underworld for now.

I plan on doing some stuff loosely based on Greek myth later in the year, but I figured first I'd do something that's an actual myth, and that might actually be useful. Any thoughts on which one I should start with? I'm leaning more towards Cyclopeia at the moment, but I'd like a second opinion before I start doing any serious pre-production. I have two of the official cyclopes minfigures, so that's all sorted (I've actually collected all the Greek mtyhology figs :D  I'm such a nerd).

And yes, I'm a huge fan of Sparknotes.
